Sometimes you really just want something nourishing to eat for dinner. Not just nourishing for the body, but for the soul. That's how I felt last weekend when I went to meal prep for the week. I needed something delicious, filling, and healthy. Something like what I had gotten at the opening of Flower Child… Continue reading Mother Earth Bowl

Black Bean Omelette
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it's one that I usually take for granted. I've never really been a big breakfast person. 'Give me lunch or give me death!' was my motto as a kid. Now, I'm really starting to embrace breakfast culture. I'm diving into the whacky world of overnight… Continue reading Black Bean Omelette
Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
I'm so happy the woman who lived in this house before me knew what she was doing in the garden. We moved into a fully functional, mature garden with tons of tomato plants and a producing apple tree. There's no way I could've grown those from scratch. I've got a black thumb when it comes… Continue reading Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
Extra Mushroom Alfredo
Well howdy, y'all. I've officially traded in an apartment in the city for a homestead in the country on 1.5 acres of land. Nearly a month ago, Rob and I bought our first home outside of Guthrie, Oklahoma. It's everything I could've dreamed. We've got land, gardens, peace, and quiet...not to mention an apple tree… Continue reading Extra Mushroom Alfredo
Grilled Portobello Sandwiches with Roasted Red Pepper Mayo
I've been having a hard time keeping fresh produce in my house. Either it gets eaten up in a jiffy, or it goes bad before I can get around to using it. I don't know if it's just a poor produce selection at the store, or if maybe my fridge is too hot or too… Continue reading Grilled Portobello Sandwiches with Roasted Red Pepper Mayo
Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
Parmesan Ranch Roasted Green Beans
We're getting closer and closer to that time of year where you can't use the oven any longer. It's already forecast to be close to 90 degrees tomorrow. I can feel the warm, Southerly wind on my face right now as I blog from porch. The heat is coming, and it's sure to be a… Continue reading Parmesan Ranch Roasted Green Beans
Cheesy Garlic Roasted Asparagus
The time has come. After months of 60 degree weather, no snow in sight---we're finally getting a winter storm. It may not seem like much, but after more than a year without snow, I can all but guarantee Oklahoma is NOT prepared for the 4-6 inches we might get tonight. But I'm ready for it.… Continue reading Cheesy Garlic Roasted Asparagus
Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
I think I'm finally over the hump. The hump of, "oh my god I'm not eating sugar any more let's freak out." That hump. It's been one week of going back to an ultra-low-carb diet and my body is finally starting to accept it. I was a rage queen there for a few days, and… Continue reading Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
There's just something about sweet potatoes. I'm guessing it's the carby one-two punch. First, you get a potato. Second, you inject it with sugar. How could anything go wrong?! I've been going to town on some sweet potatoes lately. Tomorrow is our work Thanksgiving potluck, and guess what I'm bringing? Yep: sweet potatoes. My favorite… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
